THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, MAY 23, 1826. [THE TIMES.] It has not, perhaps, been generally understood, that about ten months ago, when a contract was signed by the Greek Deputies, for engaging the active ser vices of Lord Cochrane on behalf of their unfortunate country, the sum of 150,0001. was set apart from the' Greek Loan, to defray the expellees of.bi.LOrdghip's proposed enterprise—with a proviso' that the gallant officer should depart for Greece as soon as certain specified preparations, in the form of vessels and war like stores, could be got in readiness to accompany hm. It is too true that Lord Cochrane has not vet trailed for his destination, although so much time has elapsed since the bargain was struck, and the neces sary funds provided. 'We are quite aware that the Lult on this occasion does not rest with the noble and pliant officer. The laws of his country were in readi liczis to be acted upon, and the interference of Go vernment was an obstacle with which it was neither his duty nor within his ability to contend. But v hat ha,s become of the money ? A stipulated pro portions-we are informed, was lodged with a dis ,ttnguisfied individual in this country, as a re muneration for the gallant Admiral, had he 'been able to execute his project ; but the remainder, a mounting to upwards 110,0001., ought sure ly to have been ,rendered in some way or other available to the struggling cause of Greece—by being transferred to the Greek mission here, or remitted to the Supreme Government, at a moment when all the most important points of its territory were attacked, its most valuable fortresses besieged, and the garrisons reduced to the last extremity through hunger. Had even half the above sun been sent out three months ago, or provisions to the same amount, it is probable that Missolonghi need not have fallen, and that the lives of thousands, among whom were helpless women and children, would have been saved. Between the minuet-dancing of diplomacy at Constantinople, and the faltering spirit of avarice or distrust in London, what a waste of' human life has been perpetrated— hOw much wretchedness has been wantonly inflicted—. and what a burden of guilty reStionsibility has been incurred! Greece has derived hardly any benefit from the loan, although the gentleman who contracted for it is said to have Cleared for his own share 100,0001. — But it is consolatory that the fate of Greece seems about to be fixed by other parties than shose to whom she stands indebted for the intensity of her present sufferings. Appearances become more favourable every day to the hope that Greek liberty will not only be wrung from the infidels through the intervention of Christian States, but that the blessing will be at chieved'without any recourse to arms. On former occasions, when Russia stood foremost among the :European Governments in demanding from the Divan a surrender of its dominion over Greece, Turkey was, perhaps, encouraged in her refusal by the backwardness both. of Austria and England to sup port the Russian propositions ; and, indeed, had Greece been released from bondage through Russian means alone, and on terms prescribed by the Ca binet 'of St, Petershurgh, it is difficult to conceive that she would have experienced any change beyond that of a mere transfer from one military despotism to .another. England, therefore, and Austria, could net have countenanced an accession of maritime strength to Russia, so formidable to all her neigh bours.. The case now exhibits a different state of facts, .and bids fair to be disposed of by consideratious less -complex And diseouragin. England is henceforth the prominent party in negotiating on behalf of Greece.— lier success would not be of a 'nature to rouse the alarms of other States, by a prospect of the Greek nation only ceasing to be TUrkish that they might be come British subjects. No longer, therefore, pro test:tea by Austria or by England as formerly, and still pressed by Russia in conjunction with these great powers, it is conjectured that Turkey will give way . withOlit. provoking a visitation of force from Great Britain. It must be obvious to the Turkish :states men, if not quite besotted.and stupified with conceit, that our squadron cruising about the Mediterranean, need but show itself " in position.between Alexandria and the Dardanelles, to cut offat once all stores and provi. sions from the troops of Egypt as-well as of Asia and Ilonmelia, and thus compel them in a single month to tlirolv down their arms and submit. What Eng land, therefore, can do with such perfect case and safety, she is, we think, in policy and honour, bound to do on' this occasion, so uuportant to the whole of Christendom, though we trust that Turkey will under, stand enough of the danger of resistance not to tempt it. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] curious exemplification of what we have more than once observed with respect to the utter unfitness of bodies like the two houses of Parliament for the busi- VrISE of legislating, was afforded in the House of Lords last night. The Debtor and Creditor Bill, .to the 'principle of which the Lord Chancellor expressed hiin'self friendly, find no Noble Lord expressed him sell hostile, bad, it seems, been drawn up in such an improper manner, that no Peer would so much as move the second reading. Thus an important le gislative measure is delayed another year, because adequate, skill has not been employed in the fram . . mg it. It is certainly an advantage that the Lord Chancellor should rescue the country, even in the last Parliamentary stage, from the evil of an addition to its mass of barbarous and ill-digested legislation but it would be still better, if due care and Skill were Le4owed-on Bills tit the outset, to prevent the time of -Parliament from being unnecessarily consumed during their different stages, and the nation from' le-Tering from the delaying a. measure called fOr by the wants of society. The Houses' of Coin mons and Lords possesses the disadvantage for legis lation peculiar to all large assemblies, with , some ills a.:.l..vsintages peculiar to themselves. A large assent hlfr, Lord Chesterfield observes, however con • vututed, is always a mob, which may -both excite be excited, but which is incapable of cool end diapassionate deliberation. If the two. Houses were composed of so many Lord Bacons, the numbers of their members would -unfit them from legislating. 13ut t yr o }louses, as we b a n observed, have peculiarities ir.their constitution` of a particularly disqualifying us wre. One House is composed, exclusively of grea t Landholders and S p iritual Lords; the other sin co osed. to , the mos t part, of men -et great --property, Vut it possesses also a certain number'of place4iolders e' , as pi ra nts to office, and m en engaged throdghbut the' day in the fatiguing business of the Bar, who enter the noun rather for the purpose of acquiring a reputation for eloquence, than with the view of attending to the d'lliminess of legislation. Poverty is the parent of la- bour ; the desire of wealth is the spring:of activity. To expect that a man, removed by wealth at his outset from the necessity of exertion, should ever acquire a taste for it, is to know little of human nature. Of this, we cannot have a better proof than in the well-known fact, that nine-tenths of the great landholders of this island, from aversion to all business, are ridden, as it is called, by their stewards, who often exercise a very mischievous influence. From a body so constituted, it were preposterous to expect that severe labour and patient examination of proposed laws,.which a nation has a right to expect in the men who are charged with its legislation. Subjects of a general nature, towards which the national feeling is directed, find their proper place in a numerous assembly ; but legislation requires extensive learning, practical skill, said patient delibe ration. Parliament ought, then, to del!gate those duties to which it is itself unequal, and must always be unequal to a Commission composed of men of high character for.virtue, professional knowledge, and labo rious diligence ; responsible , of eourfe; to itself for the manner in which they discharged their duty. These men, labouring for the nation, ought, of course, to be paid by the nation ; and we are much mistaken if the snbstitution of paid for unpaid legislators would not be one of the most economical measures ever adopted.— Parliament, relieved from this drudgery, would have far more time for the entertainment of inviting subjects, on which the eloquence of Country Gentlemen could be employed with advantage. Whatever may be thought of the above plan, it is clear that we cannot go on much longer in our present way, overwhelmed • every year by masses of absurd and contradictory legislation. The Lord Chancellor, as we have already observed, has certainly done some good in freeing us from numberless abortions sent up every day from the Commons to the Upper House ; but too many stupid and absurd laws find their way to the statute-book notwithstanding. [MOANING HERALD.] Some remarks have been made, mixed up with an apparent intention of exciting a certain degree of odium acramst a high quarter, relative to an order which is said to have been given against watering the road through St. James's Park. The truth, however, is, that the indulgence in this respect, has been much abused. During the late reign, no one ever dreamt of rendering that Park a place for exercising horses backwards and forwards opposite the King's Palaces ; the privilege of passing through the Park, was all that was ever asked for or permitted, as far as horses and carriages were concerned ; and it is very , well known that his late. Majesty was very particular in this respect ; and that though the Park was en joyed by pedestrians to a much greater extent than it is now (especially on Sunday evenings in the summer), the privilege of passing through both with horses and carriages, was very circumscribed indeed. Of late years, principally perhaps from the Palaces not being so much occupied by the Royal Family, a greater laxity has prevailed in this respect, and a singular jumble of Clerks, Stock brokers, et id genus omne, have first intruded, and then obtained a sort of tacit permission to show off their equestrianism,in a place from which a sense of decency excluded heir betters. Many of them being scarcely able to set their horses any where, and conse quently ashamed to show themselves among the good horsemen in Hyde Park, have taken it into their heads to walk their nags backwards and forwards from Spring-gardens to Buckingham-house, which they cull « taking a ride in the Park and consequently, that which from the situation of the place, and the narrowness of the ride, was only intended as a pas sage, has become a sort of cockney riding-school, and, as such, a great annoyance and abuse. From what ever quarter the wish to put an end to it has come, it is perfectly right ; and if by not watering the road for a short time, these modern Gambados can be taught not to intrude where they have no business, the hint is one which they ought to take, and any attempt to kick up a dust about it is quite absurd and ridiculous. Deducting the blank days, and the two recesses at Faster and Whitsuntide, Parliament will not, at its rising, have sat above three months this year ! The work of law-making, however, has not slumbered, and, as far as' indulging the ruinous itch for legisla tion goes, the country perhaps would not have much to regret, bad there been even less time afforded for the indulgence of this too-prevailing propensity. In deed there is but one good reason which could have been urged in favour of this abortive motion for an ambulatory Parliament ; and that was, that such a change would have permitted the affairs of the State to go on without the perpetual, selfish, wordy, domi neering, influence which so many members of the long robe, as they are called, infuse, more or less, into every parliamentary proceeding. But there is one point of view, nevertheless, in which the shortness of the Session, and the early dissolution of Parliament, are serious evils. We mean by the way in which they cut short the hearin o r , of appeals in the House of Lords. It is, indeed, a serious evil to suitors from all parts of the kingdom that their means of re dress should thus be circumscribed ; and that an accu mulation of expence and delay should thus be superadded to the at no time very speedy progress of the law. This is the more to be re gretted, when it is considered that it not unfrequently happens, that appeals are brought merely for the pur pose of delay, and that therefore an additional injustice is inflicted by the implied encouragement which is thus given to persons so acting. We are not prepared to say what specific remedy can be applied to this evil; but where so many reforms of nur judicial system are afloat, it may not be unworthy of the 'attention of those who are best able to appreciate the importance of the subject in all its bearings, whether suitors have not a right to hall; the highes',, Coi7t of Appeal kept open for a certain length of time in each year to hear their causes; and whether some method 'rip not be hit upon, to render the duties a this High Court in dependent of mere political cau:-es. We throw out these suggestions, not with a view of finding fault with any one ; on the contrary, we are aware that by the, appointment of a Deputy Speaker, the hearing of appeal§ in the House of Lords has been much acce lerated; but Still we cannot help thinking, that the practice would be still more improved, if the time of assembling, adjourning, or proroguing Parliament had less to do with its judicial.functions e or that part of those function:: were transferred to the same persons who now exercise them under some other designs- nEPRESENTATIvr.] We have said .very little on the disputes concerning the Chancellor, whielt_have occupied so- much of. the attention _of our eotemporarics. We think that the minds of all persons competent to judge have been made up with respect t o t h e pretended causes of dis satisfaction against him. As long as certain forms in any Court produce delay, so long the Judge who pre sides over that Court must be Of necessity slow in getting through causes; and as long as the causes themselves are clogged with difficulties, and occa sionally rendered obscure and intricate by clever and experienced sophists, so long will it be necessary that a Judge should be cautious in pronouncing his deci sions. The fitness or unfitness of the forms .of a Court is evidently no part of the duty of its President to decide ; that is the business of those who enact laws, not of those who administer them. Nor is this doctrine got up for the purpose of adapting it to the ‘Casie. of Lord .Eldon—it is a doctrine at least as old as Justinian, and to be found most carefully incul cated in his Pandects, and is indeed no more than the dictate of, common sense. A Judge, in fact, ought to be the. very last Man NV . IIO 'Should recom mend the alteration of practices which, while they were injurious to one party, might be beneficial to another. To amend injurious practices in the Chan cery Court was the duty of the Commission, and the manner in which they executed it entitles them to the o thanks of the, country. The personal attacks on Lord E arising from his doubting mind, are veryld van's delaygiie.N F. "Ve are certain that, in every one of the cases to which allusion has been made by the Mem bers of Opposition, or the newspapers of that party, Lord Eldon's assailants, even with the assistance' of such eminent Chancery lawyers as Messrs. Williams and Brougham, would find it very difficult to answer and satisfactorily the doubts which his Lordship could lay before than. It is very easy , we admit , to decide slap dash on every subject laid before us ; but tbe value of such judgments is.another thing. A Turkish Cadi is pot to be accused of delay, but we doubt whether he is therefore a more valuable Magistrate. It must not be forgotten that t...ord Eldon is not merely trying causes, but making precedents ; and that what he de cides is decided as long as the law of England endures. But, as we have said already, these are but the pre tended objections to Lord Eldon. Why have not the Whig party the courage or the honesty to confess the real objection to his Lordship ? Why do they not candidly say We hate him because he is Our political antagonist—because he upholds the institu tions of the country—because he keeps us out of place—because lie refiises us silk go MIS ?"—This would be the truth. '['he Whigs had a Lord Chan cellor, some twenty years ago, of their owiL In his time the system Was what it is now, and Lord Erskine was notoriously no lawyer. The sins of ignorance were added to the original sin of Chancery. Was there a whisper against him from the set that is now abusing a man so unmeasurably his superior ? Not one. On the contrary. he was extolled and ap plauded, as he would still have been, if lie had continued to the present da y to blunder and drivel on the Woolsack. he end, however, of these attacks, will not be attainecl Lord Eldon will not be bullied out of the Chancellorship—nor the Whigs handed into place. AFRICAN TRAVELLERS. We announced yesterday the death of Captaii Pearce and Dr. Morrison, and we are now enabled to communicate to our readers some interesting, but melancholy, information respecting the party. •By letters received from Captain Willis , of the Brazen, transmitting his correspondence with Captains Clap perton, ITouston, &c. it appears that, on the sth December, Clapperton writes to say, that, through the intercession of the King of Badagry, he had obtained permission from the King of Hio to pass through his dominions ; and that a proper escort of horses and guides were waiting his arrival ; that he was to pro ceed the following morning, first crossing a lake near Papoe. Ho states that -- Hio is the Yariba of the Arabs, On the 15th, he writes from Jennah, a town in the Kingdom of Yariba, describing the difficult and fa tiguing journey they had made, chiefly through thick woods, but ,that the country afterwards became ex ceedingly beauti lid, the people kind, well-dressed in cap, shirt, and trowsers, and in possession of numerous horses. Ile states that, from ,Jennah to Katunga, the capital of Yariba, is about thirty days' journey, and from thence only three days to the Niger Kowara ; he adds, that Captain Pearce, Mr. Morrison, and their white servants, had suffered much from fever, but were betting better. On the 24th, Mr. Houston writes from Jennah,, to say that, in consequence of Dr. Morrison's severe in disposition, and after having advanced from Jennah about twenty miles, he was under the necessity of be ing sent back to the coast, but that the others were re covering. In a few days after their return to Jennah, Dr. Morrison and his servant both died. On the 10th January, Mr. Houston writes to his agent from Chiudo, saying that he found, in his return from Jennah to „Engtia, that Captain Clapperton had been ill with fever, and his servant llichard the same, but that both were convalescent, and proceeding to their destination ; and concludes by saying " there is no fear for Chipperton's health now ; in a short time he will have accomplished what has been the object 1 other nations, that of travelling from west to east of the great African Continent. airing the last five days, we have been crossing the Mountains' of Kona, which, through the whole of that distance, are the most romantic and beautiful that can be imagined.— We are now, I suppose, 2,500 feet above the level of the sea, in a fine atmosphere, the thermometer 89 to 90 deg. (we have had it 98 deg.), and in lat. 8 deg. 23 min, 30 sec., and half-way to Kantanga, at which place, as we now travel so much faster, weliope to arrive in twelve days, I shall see Clapperton across the. Niger, and. return with all haste. Hu is again quite weg, and as hard as a Fellatuh." 13y a letter from Clapperton to Capt. Willis, dated Pigua, 28th December, he says, " It is my misfor tune that I have nothing to communicate but the worst of news. Poor Pearce died yesterday, and buried him to-lay as respectably as I could, all the people of the town paying the gr eatest attention whil e I read the funeral service over his remains." We have already mentioned that Dr. Dickson set out from the c oas t for Dahomey, accompanied by M. de Sonia and M r . James. The latter had returned to the coast From him it appears that they reac h e d Dahoracy o n the 16th December, where th e y were received by t h e King and his Caboceers with the greatest re s p ect . Mr. Dickson had a fever, but on the 29th he was sufficietly recovered to attend an audience, When it was settled that he-should have a safeCondnct through his dominions end those of his allies, to a place called Sher, said to he 17 days' jour ney from Dahomey, in a northerly direction. He left Dahomeyy on the 3 1 st , accompanied by 50 armed mop and 10 bearers. The King appointed a rela tion et hi s - a guide and ambassador ter aCCOIII.- , pany Izini on hia journey --- a malfwho kiiew'tbictoun trY well, and who had travelled to' Yariba.

MANSION-HOUSE. —Yesterday Mr. Johnson, of Ozford• street, with the deputation of Silk-mercers, and others, waited upon the Lord Mayor, on the subject of the frauds which, they stated, were committed upon the public by shopkeepers in various parts of the metropolis. The several parties in the deputation as sured his Lordship that the charge was by no means so ridiculous as had been supposed, and that they considered the conduct of the shopkeepers in some instances, which they should lay before his Lordship, as amounting to frauds cognizable before him. Mr. Hell, a gentleman who is one of the Committee for ma naging the subscription raised for the relief of the distressed manu facturers, waited upon the Lori Mayor respecting the charge. The LORD MAYOR said, he need scarcely ask, whether the Committee had given any such authority or countenance to those tradesmen who had made use of the Committee. Mr. Bell—The Committee have not the slightest knowledge of them. Mr. Johnson said, they would show his Lordship the use that had been made of the name of the Committee, and then it might be judged, whether the- deputation had been guilty of an egre gions piece of folly in presuming that shopkeepers of respectable appearance must have bad some authority for such a proceeding. He then handed in the copy of a lithographic circular, which ran in the following terms : " London. " Madam,—We, the distreased manufacturers of Spitelfields, beg leave respectfully to inform you, that Messrs. A. Shears and Co., 120, Regent-street, are appointed to sell, by commission, for our immediate relief, 40,0001. worth of silks, consisting of rich Gros des Indes—(here the goods are enumerated)—Diaphone crapes, and every new article of Spitalfields produce. The goods are of the very best quality, warranted perfect, and will he of fered at less than the cost price of the raw material, an advantage of 45 per cent." There was one advertisement from the Messrs. Carden and Co. which used the following terms:—" The Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, and many other persons of distinction, having I,u -, inanely considered the distressed state of the inanufacturers in Spitalfields, Macclesfield, and many other manufacturing dis-, tricts, and convened a meeting at the City of London :Tavern, to take into consideration the best means of afThrding immediate relief, Messrs. Cordon and Co. beg to inform the nobility and the public, that they are appointed agents by the committee of manu facturers, to sell, for the exclusive benefit of tke working classes, 47,000 yards of silk, manufactured solely in Spitalfields, the pro duce of which is to be handed to the Committee daily. The Committee find this the beet manner of affording relief to the weavers, as it is the sale of the immense stock now on hand that will alone enable them to give them employment." The Loan 111Avon.-L:1 need not ask von, Mr. Bell, whether any money had been received daily by the Committee from any such source? _ . Mr. Bell.—MY Lord, we know nothing whatever of them. There was another advertisement from the same paper (The John )lull of the 7th of May), which stated, that in consequence of the distressed state of the Spitalfields manufacturers, and " it being signified that ladies will appear in silk exclusively manu factured in Spitalfields, Williams and Price have just received several coniignMents of silks, with positive orders from the Com mittee of citizens to sell, and remit the money immediately. The present distress need hardly be stated as a cause for such sacrifices." _ _ Th e ` LORD M A yoq.--Who arc the Committee of manufactu rers? They will doubtless say they are the Committee, and that they, or those for whom they sell, are distressed. Mr. Jobeson said, it was impossible to tell, hut when statements so positive as these were sent forth by such houses, persons might be excused for having believed that they acted under some autho rity from the Committee for. managing the subscription. In a speech made by' Cobbett to the electors of Preston, one of those advertisements fdrmed the groundwork of an attack which that person made upon his Lordship, and the Committee, and the sub scribers, on the presumption that such a mode of selling goods was authorized by them. This person was acknowledged to be tole rably acute at any rate, so that.the persons compos►ng the depu tation who waited upon his Lordship, were not the only persons who had been egregiously deceived by these advertisements. The LORD 1114 volt declared that he could scarcely have con ceived that respectable tradesmen would have resorted to such means fur procuring custom. Reprehensible as they were, he, however, did notsee that they were legally cognizable before him. The deputation, after declaring their conviction that much mischief bad been done to the subscription by these practices, thanked his Lordship for his attention to the case, and left the justice room. • BOW-STREET.—Srxnntgo.— W. Collier, a man near 70 years of age, was charged, under Lord Ellenborough's Act, with cutting and maiming Samuel Westifer, with intent to murder Lim. The prisoner resides in Hare-street, Bethnal-green. On the night of last Sattirday.sennight, his wife and the wife of Samuel Westifer, a dyer, who resides in the Jame house, had a quarrel, and-when the prisoner came home, about 11 o'clock, his wife in formed him that Westifer's wife and relatiVes had called her and her children by - Opprobrious names. The prisoner, who tray eat• ing bread and cheese, and had a• knife in his hand, went down stairs, and seeing Westifcr in the stmet, called to him, and in a passage leading to the house, a sniffle ensued between them, and the prisoner stabbed Westifor in the side with the'ltnife. Ile ex claimed, " I am stabbed," and fell senseless on the ground.. The prisoner was heard to exclaim, " I've done for the rascal; he will say no more." The prisoner was in his shirt sleeves, and Without a bat at the time. Ile instantly went up stairs and dre,ved and on going nut, a neighbour tried to secure him, Ina he said, " the person is up Stairs who has done the murder," and escaped. William Merry, a constable, said that the prisoner came to this office on Sunday se'nnight, and said that he had committed a murder in Hare-street, tietknal-green, and he had come to de- liver himself up. He said also that the man he had murdered was named Westifer, with whom he had quarrelled for eleven months, and he was determined to do it. Mr. Westifer was exa mined. Ile was allowed a seat, not being able, from loss of blood, to stand.. He said that he never quarrelled with the pri soner. in his life. His wife and other members of his family had quarrelled with the prisoner's wife. On Saturday week, about eleven o'clock at.night, after the quarrel, the prisoner called to him, and said he wanted to speak with him. lie went across the street to him, and entered a passage, when the prisoner struck him with a knife, and he fell, covered with blood. He was car ried away senseless.., His waistcoat and shirt were cut through, and, for some time, his life was considered by his surgeon to be iu imminent danger. The prisOner said, that at the time he struck the blow, he was not aware that he had a knife in his hand. lie bad been cutting bread end cheese with the knife,.and was irritated by the proac cutorinsulting him and assault;n? him. lie could show injuries on his legs, which were .caoiN l by - the prosecutor kicking him before he attempted to strike him.

Sot!lard, a green grocer, residing in Dorset-crescent, 11oxton Town, was brought before the , Magistrate yesterday, charged with bigamy. It ap peared.that the prisoner was married to liis first wife in 1807, but in 1511 they separated, and his wife signed a written engagement not to interrupt or molest her husband on any future occasion.— In 1824 the prisoner became acquainted with Elizabeth Lock, the second wife. She was then inA,good situation in Bedford-row, and had saved about 1001. in money. She was married to the prisoner in June of that year, but about three months ago she found the first wife's written undertaking . , and she abin discovered that that woman was living.
